15. Click on the Variables tab.
16. Select the Show All Variables checkbox to show all the
variables.
17. In this form, we only want to display three variables:
•Flow Ratio. This variable is a constant, and it is used to
set the outlet flowrate equal to a multiple of the inlet
flowrate (in other words, Outlet1.F=Flow Ratio *
Inlet1.F).
• Inlet1.F. This variable is the flow rate for the inlet
stream.
• Outlet1.F. This variable is the flow rate for the outlet
stream.
For other variables, select them and click the Remove
button to remove them from the list.
18. Click OK. There should be three variables (i.e., Flow Ratio,
Inlet1.F and Outlet1.F) listed in the Ratio form. Close the
Table Edit Property view.
